It’s being billed as “the biggest live music event in radio history” and so, the organisers of the brand-new iHeartRadio Festival have pulled out all the stops, delivering a lineup that’s appropriately loaded with some of the biggest stars in the business. The two-day concert, taking place in Las Vegas on Sept. 23 and 24, sold out within the first 10 minutes of being on sale to the general public this past Saturday (July 16).
The accomplishment undoubtedly owes its success to the huge amount of star power in its lineup. Gathering names from across the genres, the festival sees chart toppers in pop (Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas,Kelly Clarkson), rock (Coldplay, Steven Tyler, Jane’s Addiction), R&B (Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Jennifer Hudson) and country (Kenny Chesney,Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts) amongst others. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest at the MGM Grand, the festival also promises “special performances from Usher and Sting” with more to still be announced to its already impressive lineup.
